Michelle G @tediously_brief Aug 25, 2026 Fight Club (1999) walked so Josie and the Pussycats (2001) could run no but really the way this film informed a lot of my values as a kid and i still think about coded and subliminal messaging and the deeper meaning of all content i engage with on a big picture level. it helped with a lot of my critical thinking skills in my youth, and making sure to think about what i wanted for myself versus what i thought society was trying to convince me of in terms of what i needed or wanted; whether it was societally, materially, socially, or personally. it helped me understand how art and artists are intertwined but also corporate and studio interests might cloud an artist’s original vision or pure heart of wanting to spread their love/joy/music/art. what a meaty story full of incredible themes and lessons that manages to be hilarious and have actual bops that still manage to make my head bang. a seminal classic. dujour and the pussycats 4eva! See more VITALII H @freakynickison May 7, 2026 It goes without saying that it’s not one of the best movies of all time. Disneyish teenage early 2k comedy with predictable and cringy plot and writing that doesn’t stand out by any means. But, as a person who just watched it for the very first time I will give this movie credit for bringing up something that’s still relevant or something that was ahead of it’s time back then. I talk about the subliminal messages and brainwashing through music that makes ppl to over consume stuff. That’s something that we need to get into a bit more in my opinion. Because one day they force us to buy stuff and the next day they tell us what to do. But this movie shows the comedy angle of it all and isn’t supposed to be taken seriously but they were cooking. Would I recommend watching? Not necessarily. See more Kalissa H. @kali_416 May 2, 2026 It’s camp. It’s not the best film, but it’s fine. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 9, 2026 Josie and the Pussycats is a mediocre movie that has a fun idea but never fully lives up to it. The style is colorful, the soundtrack is catchy, and the cast clearly gives it energy, but the story feels uneven and often too silly to really land. Some of the jokes work, and the movie has a quirky charm, but overall it is more memorable for its concept than for its execution. I think it had potential to be something better, yet it stays stuck in the middle with a lot of missed opportunities. I would give it a 4/10. See more Anderson O @Platinum2027 Jan 6, 2026 Josie and the Pussycat dolls was on the nose for all of it’s viewpoints on the music industry and aspiring artist that want to make it for a big break. Soon it will be 25 years since this movie released but you’re not missing a lot, even for a chick flick. Aspects of it aged better than expected with product placement and how subliminal messaging/marketing and advertising works pre-social media. It truly is as the cast called it " a time capsule into the early 2000’s." See more Lindsay G @RT38134263 Nov 26, 2025 ★☆☆☆☆ — Painfully Loud Josie and the Pussycats is glitter, noise, and nonsense. The jokes flop, the plot evaporates, and by the end, you’ll wish the movie had nine lives… and used them all. See more Read all reviews
